'''8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 17, Episode 4''' was a [[special episode]] broadcast on 1 February 2019, as part of [[8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 17]].

Regulars [[Sean Lock]] and [[Jon Richardson]] were the [[contestant]]s, along with [[David Mitchell]] and [[Sara Pascoe]] who were their teammates respectively, while [[Jimmy Carr]] reprised his role as the host.

The match saw Jon Richardson, with the assistance of Sara Pascoe, winning by {{score|54|37}} in an [[8 round format|8-rounder]] and they won a [[Countdown]] saxophone.

[[Rachel Riley]] was, as ever, the [[arithmetician]]. The [[Dictionary Corner]] guests were [[Ellie White]] and [[Natasia Demetriou]] (portraying as Lemily and Cassandra from ''Mum's the Word'' respectively), and the [[lexicographer]] was [[Susie Dent]].

Interesting and notable moments from the episode are listed below:

1) During the Introduction, as a play on {{w|Cambridge Analytica}}, Jon set up a company called "Rico Analytica" and the database was a hard copy book full of car number plates and credit card pin numbers.

2) In Round 1, the clock music was replaced by ''{{w|Rock Around the Clock}}'' sung by {{w|Bill Haley & His Comets}}. At the same time, three pairs of swing dancers performed in the centre of the studio.

3) During the 30 seconds in Round 3, the "golf course" was shot in a separate, enclosed room with the exception of the ending which turned out to be anti-climatic as the ball failed to get into the hole (albeit a second take later proved successful).

''4) In Round 5, similar to [[8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 17, Episode 3|the previous episode]], it was dubbed a Tension Round; points were doubled and the clock music was replaced with a techno version of it coupled with sirens. When the time was up, confetti shot out from behind the contestants, notably scaring all the contestants except Sean. Thus, the maximum was worth a whopping 36 points in this case.''

5) In Round 6, Sean was not asked to show his solution. However, it can be assumed it was identical to David's one.

6) During the 30 seconds in Round 7, Jimmy sat on a dentist's chair and she used a blade saw to treat him, resulting in very polished teeth. In addition, there was another assistant but both were not credited.

NOTE 1: In this version, both players' declarations were allowed, although points were only awarded for the best answer.

NOTE 2: In Round 5, Susie erroneously listed {{word|NORMALISE}} as being an eight-letter word rather than a nine-letter one.
